FOUR PORTRAITS OF QUEEN VICTORIA.
perfect portrait. 1t was taken from the
bust executed by Hiram Powers. The
profile of Washington was designed after
the celebrated bust by Houdon. Another
and perhaps more accurate portrait of
Washington appeared ON the twenty
cent green stamp issued by the Confeder-
ate government during the civil war.
The portraits of Washington, Jackson
and Franklin have predominated in the
various issues of the United States
stamps. Jackson's head invariably an
peared upon the two-cent stamp, Frank
Inns portrait was confined to the one-cent
stamps and that Of Washington was used
on the different three-cent stamps, and
occasionally upon stamps of hi CHER
value. The five-cent stamp issued some
years ago for postage on letters to foreign
countries was originally printed in blue
and bore the portrait of Zachary Taylor,
which was taken from a family photo
graph. More recently the portrait was
changed to that of the late President Gar
field. The Garfield portrait was taken

historic battle Of Lake Erie; Andrew
Jackson behind the cotton bales at New
Orleans; Zachary Taylors exploits on
the Rio Grande; Scott operating in
Mexico; Abraham Lincoln signing the
emancipation proclamation ; the assassi
nation and the death of Garfield, and
other thrilling incidents of American
history.
There have been various portraits of
Benjamin Franklin on different Ameri-
can stamps. The most perfect is that
which appears upon the one-cent stamp
in present use. 1t is printed in imperial
ultramarine blue and was designed under
the direction of Postmaster General

EVEN THERE.

A troop of babes in summer land,
At Heavens gate-the children's gate;
One lifts the latch with rosy hand,
Then turns and dimpling asks her mate
What was the last thing that you saw?'
II lay and watched the dawn begin,
And suddenly, thro' the thatch of straw,
A great clear morning-star laughed in.
"And you?" "a floating thistle-down,
Against June sky and cloud-wings white"
"And you?' "a falling blow, frown-
1t frights me yet: oh, clasp me tight ~
"And your ga face thro' that smiled
The trembling lips could speak no more;
The blue eyes swan the lonely child
Was homesick even at Heavens door.

POSTAGE-STAMP PORTRAITS.
Some of the Pictures Which Are Used
and Whose They Are.
WILL NJ. CLEMENS.



For over thirty years the United States
threecent stamp used for general postage
has been adorned with profile Of
George Washington. In 1882 the three
cent stamp was superseded by a two
cent stamp which still bears the portrait of
the first President. The four-cent stamp,
issued at the same time, has upon its
face the bust of Andrew Jackson. When
one makes study of American postage
stamps and realizes the fact that the por-
traits of score or more of prominent
Americans have appeared from time to
time upon the face Of the stamps, the
study becomes at once interesting and
instructive. Placing before him the series
of American stamps from the time of
the first issue in 1S47, which bore the
portraits of Washington and Franklin,
to the more recent period when the busts
of Washington and Jackson appeared on
the new stamps, the student has not
only before him an art gallery of the
portraits of great Americans, but the
life and public services of these men are
recalled to mind. In the portrait of
Washington we see the first President
encamped in the snow at Valley Forge.
Franklin is seen flying his kite and
tempting the electric currents; Hamil-
ton favoring a centralized government
and establishing the national bank; JEFF
ferson writing the Declaration of indie
pendence and founding the Democratic

THE HARVEST HYMN.
THE REV. NEWMAN HALL.

They shout for joy, they also sing;
The valleys, clothed with corn
Extol Creations glorious King,
Whose fruits the fields adorn.
They sing the power that works each veal
The miracle of bread:
From seeds 80 few vast crops appear,
And multitudes are fed.
OF faithfulness, they sing aloud,
That ever doth endure:
The promise radiant in the cloud,
Seed-time and harvest sure.
They sing the goodness of the Lord,
Who feeds both man and beast;
Sustaining all things by His Word,
Nor oyerlooks the least.
Lord of the harvest! would bring
Ny grateful sheaves to Thee,
I'll shout for joy, I'll also sing
Thy faithful love to me.
Ripen the grain, Thy work complete,
Thy Harvest-home prepare;
Make me for Thine own garner meet
Store nae forever there.

CHICAGO, January 27th.-The Neps'
Washington special says: All agree to-day
in saying that the imposition on the Chi
neSe Minister at his grand ball last night
was shame. About 400 invitations were
issued, and over 500 people made their
way into Stewart Castle Dancing was i'm
possible because of the awful crush. 1t was
not ball. but 9 well dressed mob The
cloak-rooms were a scene of confusion, and
the dressing-room was so jammed that the
stairway was crowded for hours with ladies
trying to reach or turn from il. There was
so much confusion that ladies lost their
wraps and gentlemen their overcoats, and
had to send to the Legation this morning
to see if they could not be recovered In
the drawing rooms, which were jammed
with people, many handsome ornaments
were broken and others are missing, but
the most disgraceful scene was in the din
ing-room, which was taken possession of
early In the evening" as soon as the doors
were opened. by well-dressed mob, and
occupied until the tables were cleared.
Ben Perley Poore says there was never
anything like it; that there wes never any
thing SO disgraceful in the history of
Washington society. OF the l 500 people
who were in the house only about 200 per-
sons reached the dining-room, and they re-
mained there. Some who wanted to get
out were unable to do So One Senator who.
passed in early in the evening relates that
after seating his wife he went to the table
to.get her some refreshments, but was not
able to return TO her because of the jam,
and he did not see her again for two hours.
